When you say angle are you talking cue elevation?
The more you get the cue ball turning the more speed is created.

...if the ball is going rail to rail with running english.The more you get the cue ball turning the more speed is created.
Think draw and follow while hitting straight in on an object ball....if the ball is going rail to rail with running english.
The gear(s) you use creates speed.
Ok you mean vertical spin only. Maybe put in more concise terms?Think draw and follow while hitting straight in on an object ball.

What position on the cue ball do you hit when using "running english."...if the ball is going rail to rail with running english.
If what I am talking about works with vertical spin, wouldn't it stand to reason that it also works with "turn" spin?Ok you mean vertical spin only. Maybe put in more concise terms?
Take it to the table & you will see what I mean.
I would really have to show you on a pool table.Don't confuse 'rotation' with speed. Gear effect does 'turn' the ball sure but spin is not really a 'speed' creator. Running english helps maintain speed but doesn't create speed.
I'll ask you the same question what position on your cue ball is "running english."
If you have to get the cue ball around 3 or 4 rails do you use spin or just brute force to create speed?

No i get it bro. Running english does cause the ball to widen/speed up. That's the only time spin of any kind does that. The cushion and the angle which the ball comes in at determines how much. Spin by itself is not creating the effect. If you shoot a cb straight at the rail with side spin it comes off in that direction but its not speeding up. The approach angle, and spin amount too, has a lot to do with how the ball reacts.I would really have to show you on a pool table.

I'm not the one confused.

I am talking about speed in general to move the cue ball around the table.
Spin creates that speed more so than just brute force hit.
Can you not answer the question about where you hit the cue ball for running english?
See this is the reason vertical and side are two different words and the terms running and reverse english are used as fundamental principles.If what I am talking about works with vertical spin, wouldn't it stand to reason that it also works with "turn" spin?
See previous. ^^^What position on the cue ball do you hit when using "running english."
running english will widen/speed up the cb. i agree totally, no denying that. the amount that this effect takes place depends a lot on the approach angle the cb is on. my point is that english by itself does not cause any increase in speed. the wider the angle the more the effect.See this is the reason vertical and side are two different words and the terms running and reverse english are used as fundamental principles.
One of the worst things to ever happen to this game was people selling aiming systems. It threw too much dust in the air. Leave it to a pool player to figure out how to create money from nothing.Good players aren't going to tell you otherwise unless they are selling you an aiming system lesson.
